Troopers said on Monday they received a complaint from a medical professional at Albany Medical Center who reported a possible sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl. She told police that during the trip, a person later identified as Deronn Pool, 18, began forcibly touching intimate parts of her body, which left visible bruises, troopers said.

Troopers said an investigator quickly identified and located Pool, who was charged with the Class A misdemeanors of endangering the welfare of a child and forcible touching and ordered to return to Albany City Court later this month.
